C. FERTILIZERS FOR FORAGE CROPS. 



It is decidedly poor economy to attempt to grow forage crops 

 on poor, unfertilized soils. Intensive rather than extensive culture 

 should be the motto of the producer. Naturally, the amount of 

 manure or commercial fertilizer to be applied will depend upon the 

 previous treatment and present condition of the land. 



Six cords of barnyard manure under average 

 Barnyard Manure conditions may be considered a reasonable ap- 

 and Chemicals, plication to the acre. Soils quite deficient in 

 available plant food will require double this 

 amount applied for a series of years before they become highly pro- 

 ductive. Frequently, when the supply of manure is limited, it may 

 be advisable to apply 3 or 4 cords to the acre, and supplement with 

 commercial fertilizers. In such cases the following mixture is sug- 

 gested : 



Nitrate of soda, . . 50 pounds. 



Acid phosphate, . . 200 pounds. 



Muriate of potash, . . 100 pounds. 



In case of crops sown in the fall — wheat and vetch or grass and 



clover — the barnyard manure may be used at the time of seeding, if 



the soil requires it, and an application of chemicals similar to the 



above made if necessary in the spring.
